@Chris Nice predecimals, that nail is interesting.
@steptoeandson That’s a fair amount of 1 & 2’s, the USA is interesting.
Go hard Shady, you often find neat coins.

Comp Hunt #2 - Nothing old at a nice storm cut beach, but hit a gold in the first hole 
Plenty of coins had been tumbled around during the storm, almost got a straight flush with the Aus coins.
Never really paid attention to the dates on decimals before - surprised how many were '67s, but I suppose that’s logical with a first issue.

Yeah, I’ve noticed quite a few 67’s and 71’s when I was looking for some rares in a large bag.
Nice predecimals, shame they weren’t silver.
Keep looking - storm is still on.
Do submit the rings, there is another prize for Best Find.
Hopefully we will hear from the People in the South.
Lammerlaw’s Timaru beach spot might be good to check once their flooding has finished.
Not to much for the south…will have to get my a into g.

1859… Some good age in that spot!
Silvers and button pretty good - especially under these crazy storm conditions.
I wanted to hit the local river today, but its a nasty brown.
Maybe we should open the second category up to best storm pix while detecting

A yay from me for another month…probably take 2 weeks to dry out down here!
Is that ‘superior’ round thing from a saw handle?

Picked up one of those “Improved Patent” buttons not long ago. They seem to be mid-late 19th era.
@SoilSurfer Dead right…and showing your age picking that one.
Back in the days when saws were saws - Here’s one of mine next to a namby-pamby modern tin 'n plastic one
MW got it spot on …
Soilsurfer picked it - I just happen to like using old tools
About the same chance of you finding a rotting leather pouch full of gold sovs 
Just make sure it dosnt call off
Now that is a saw!! I think the little plastic one would be better for my little chicken arms lol
Yeah man give us rain soaked southerners another month. Maybe the flooding has unearthed some goodies! Well u never know
